Alan Archibald: Named permanent manager

Archibald has been in interim charge since Jackie McNamara and assistant Simon Donnelly left Firhill to take over at Dundee United in late January.

The Thistle defender has helped maintain their promotion push, with the Jags two points behind Irn-Bru First Division leaders Morton with two games in hand.

Chairman David Beattie said: "I'm absolutely delighted to be able to confirm the appointment of Alan Archibald as Partick Thistle manager and Scott Paterson as his assistant.

"I look forward to working closely with them as we continue to work hard at providing a club that we can all take pride in."

m starting to think Roman may never actually be happy at the top level. If he wants all conquering fancy football I wonder if he'd be better off buying a lower division side then paying outlandish salaries to attract high caliber players too good for the division.

afa has to be favourite for the Everton job now, surely :) He'll realise his ambition to live and work on Merseyside again, get the best out of whoever plays for them, maybe win some cups and be thoroughly loathed by the toffee fans. What's not to like? Go ead, Ken, gimajob!
